The actor, writer and comedian shares the stories behind his eight tracks.
1. He thinks all modern comedy can be traced back to one legendary double-act
“But alongside civilization there was a little pile of singles that I think were my mother's choices, which I found very much more exciting, and amongst them is this record.” “And there's a joke in The Young Ones about Vyvyan being a girl's name that comes from the same stem.”Adrian had three siblings, but he was the only one who was sent away to a school in North Yorkshire. His siblings remained with his parents in Uganda. He missed his family and recalls:
“And there was a period for about - your brain plays tricks with you, it's either two, three, four, five or six months - I didn't get a letter and I remember thinking they're dead! I might be on my own.”"There wasn't a drama department,” explains Adrian, talking about his boarding school, “but there was a school play and I was in every school play.”
“I remember we bought a pair of pink duvet covers from Brentford Nylons,” says Adrian of one his and Rik’s productions, “And we were going to string them up from the studio roof and pretend to be God's testicles and talk about the world. Very sort of Waiting for Godot, really.”Following university Adrian and Rik started appearing at The Comedy Store in London, as part of a growing new comedy scene.
“Although I think it was love at first sight, we were both in other relationships which failed at different times so there was a kind of overlapping of relationships until we were finally separate people at the same time.”
